 Toxins
are everywhere, and many people commonly think they
can get them simply by consuming the wrong foods.
While it is true eating too many processed, refined
goods as well as foods that weren't meant to be
digested by humans can lead to a buildup of toxins,
there are many other factors such as our
environment.
If you live in a huge city, you
are subjected to plenty of toxins simply by
breathing! If you live in a house, and don't clean
the dust regularly, you are also taking in toxins.
All of these contribute to a sickening body, and
lead to the need for cleansing/detoxing. Though they
can't cause intestinal candida, they can worsen it.
Avoiding toxins is necessary while, and after
getting rid of candida.
Here are some tips that I found
from Shelley that you should follow to avoid toxins.
-
Don't buy new furniture, and
don't refinish old furniture. New furniture can
be treated with any number of chemicals to
protect the wood from fungus or infestation. One
such chemical is the same one they use to
preserve frogs for science project day. Yeah. If
it's made locally chances are it's okay, but if
it was made in China forget it. Furniture
stains, polishes and paint are all highly toxic,
especially when fresh, so go with the shabby
chic look. Sanding pollutes the lungs.
-
Don't redecorate often. Go on
vacation when your place is being painted.
-
Don't ever buy a new car. You
lose 5 grand as soon as you drive it away, and
the toxic off-gases from all of the interior
plastics, foam upholstery, end up on your skin
and in your lungs, polluting your brain and
nervous system. Bad stuff. Bad. That "new car
smell" doesn't smell good, it's BAD.
-
Don't ever use bug killer
beyond roach motels - no sprays. Windex - any
degreaser - works just as well. Don't work in a
restaurant - they spray for pesticides
frequently. If you do, CLEANSE, including detox
baths and liver herbs. Stay out of your
apartment as long as you can post-spray, and
toss/wash everything that was there.
-
Don't spend a lot of time in
beauty parlors. Maintaining nails and hair costs
you years of looking good.
-
Avoid the dry cleaners (dry
clean very infrequently). Buy used clothes and
window shop mainly at the consignment stores.
New clothes have a permanent press spray that
isn't great. Shop fast, wash new clothes before
wearing.
-
Avoid foam rubber beds,
futons, couches, etc. Gives off an off-gas that
isn't great. The memory foam is okay.
-
Almost all dried or canned
soups have MSG, a perfect way to get a sickly
headache. Funny, that. Soup used to be good
food. Read the label.
-
Avoid dense metropolitan
areas or areas full of smokers. Get plenty of
Vit C if you do live in a city. Smog is a real
problem.
-
Avoid drinking from aluminum
cans, particularly caustic drinks like
coca-cola.
-
Avoid eating foods from cans.
-
Avoid eating fish more than
once or twice a week, less if the larger fish.
Cod liver oil should be okay IF it is Norwegian,
or labeled "pharmaceutically pure."
-
Avoid hormone-fed meats. Eat
organic beef and chicken or game meats,
alternative meats like venison, elk, moose,
buffalo.
-
Avoid Nutra-Sweet. It breaks
down into formaldehyde.
-
Avoid biting your nails. Lots
of toxins, parasites and heavy metals end up
underneath your fingernails.
-
Avoid vinyl products. They
have lead.
-
Avoid using Lysol
disinfectant spray. It's actually smog in a
bottle.
